105. Oregon has consistently stayed atop these Pac-12 Power Rankings once the Ducks took it back from Arizona earlier in the year. But now they get to have their rematch with the Wildcats. <p>As they are firmly in control of their own destiny for the Pac-12 Championship and the national championship, can the Ducks hold off the team that’s had their number?</p> <p>Marcus Mariota is still trying to win that Heisman, and as the superstar that he is, he will have to come through in a huge setting on Saturday for Oregon to win. They are playing a physical defensive line, and the Oregon defense has to be prepared for Arizona’s physical offense that also has a ton of weapons. The Ducks have the team and the scheme to win. But do they have the mental toughness?</p> <p>Everything with the Pac-12 comes down to this huge game, and Oregon would likely secure one of the Top 2 spots at least with a win on Saturday. But Arizona could sneak into the playoff if it wins. So the Ducks can’t celebrate just yet.</p>. 10-1 (7-1). Previous: 1st. Oregon Ducks. 1. team
